JOINT PAIN

I went to see my PCP today about the joint pain that I'm still having. There are a number of joints that are still bothering me and making me very uncomfortable.
Any way, he is doing a bunch of test and x-rays before he determines what is going on.
I had x-rays done of my wrist and fingers, knees and ankles.
I also had blood test done. There are for Lyme disease, c-ractive protein (whatever that is, but I will find out), rhumatoid factory and sed rate. So there you go Maggie, everything you ask for.
When he gets the results back, he will call me and let me know what is going on. In the meantime it is tylenol and warm baths.
On a bright note, I have been off my antipsychotics for just over a week and emotionally I am doing good.
The other good news is, that even though my cholesterol is still high, my triglycerides are no where near what they were on my first test.
While I wait I am still totally frustrated. I just need all this pain to go away.
It really sucks and there isn't much I can do about it until we know what it is.
